A special treat for the 20th chapter, a filler! A certain relationship has been an idea of mine for awhile, so now it's official. Enjoy!

Meanwhile, at the Metro City police station…
"You get one call Skunk." Chief Inspector Tawashi told the criminal as he gave him a portable holophone. "It will be recorded, and can be used against you in court."
"Yeah, yeah. I know the drill." Skunk smirked as he activated the phone, which then started to automatically dial a number. Skunk looked up at Tawashi with a snide half smile that was almost deemed frightening.
"You remembered." He sarcastically declared. Tawashi only gave a small huff of disinterest and sat down to endure the phone call with the criminal. The phone rang a few times before it was answered on the other end, a figure on the holographic screen came into focus and distinguished itself as a human woman with dyed raspberry purple hair and oval shaped brown eyes. She looked less than pleased to see Skunk- not pleased at all.
"Hello darling." Skunk greeted with a smile. The woman still didn't looked pleased. Skunk took this as a cue to continue. "So… no bail this time then?"
"What the hell do you think?" the woman spat.
"I told him you wouldn't do it Nicola." Tawashi spoke up although the woman couldn't see him.
"Damn straight I'm not." the woman replied. "And don't you dare bat those boyish eyelashes at me and promise a bed tonight either. I am through with your gambles. Do you know that I've wasted more money trying to afford your bail than on groceries? It's ridiculous! And I'm not going to do it again!"
"Fine, no bail. I understand." Skunk said with a shrug and a playful smirk. "How about an update on the outside world? How's our child doing?"
Nicola's face turned into a horrendous shade of red so quickly, you would have thought she choked on something. "MY ROBOT IS NOT YOUR CHILD!" the woman thundered, her rage almost reaching out through the holographic phone. "The day that I find that I'm conceiving your genetic freak spawn, it will be the day that you a five seconds away from death and the one that's about to kill you will have no mercy on your life! Do you fucking hear me?!"
Skunk looked in her the eye from the holographic screen and laughed. "I hear pretty lady, I hear." he said to her with a handwave. Nicola's rage had reached such a high magnitude that her eyes nearly bulged out of her skull.
"Go fuck yourself!" Nicola declared as she severed the connection line with a furious quickness. With a satisfied smile, Skunk propped his feet up on the table as he casually leaned back on his hair.
"You heard the little lady," the criminal then said to Tawashi, "Get your checkbook out, my bail's coming in the next week at the least."
"Right." the chief inspector carefully agreed, certain that Nicola had meant what she had said. Skunk, however, was sure that it was going to happen again. He knew how Nicola worked, they were high school sweethearts after all. It would only take some time, then he would be out again.
Just watch him.
